You'll laugh but during the last total solar eclipse I've actually seen an young woman with a nice Canon SLR using a good looking flash against the eclipsed sun. It was film era.
I couldn't help myself to ask her what brand is the flash and if she is content with it. She was enchanted that I've noticed her gear and explained to me that it was a very reliable flash for the contre-jour situations. Very Happy

Well Dan, I also try to always be kind and polite, yet also try to slip in some hints in situations like that.
A "how can you be so stupid" approach offends people and they never learn ... Wink

And maybe she wanted to shoot a portrait with the eclipse as background...it woudl have worked though! Wink
